Note to Eric Musselman, Bobby Hurley, Patrick Ewing, and Jim Larranaga: Relationships matter to Marreon Jackson.
When Jackson committed to Toledo as a senior at Garfield Heights High School, he commented on Tod Kowalczyk and UT’s coaches being a constant presence at his games. In-person recruiting and visits are a no-no during the coronavirus pandemic, but if you aren’t checking in daily with Jackson, good luck convincing him to play at your school.
“It’s been crazy. I’m grown up now, so my thinking is just totally different,” the Rockets’ fourth all-time leading scorer said while discussing his recent recruitment.
